SOUTH AFRICAN DRIVERS LICENSE INFORMATION FOR Budget car hire in SOUTH AFRICA

Drivers must have a valid driving license, which displays his/her photograph upon it, or carry your passport with you as positive identification to verify you as the legal holder of the drivers license. Your license must be printed in English so a local traffic officer can establish which class of vehicle you are qualified to drive. If not, either an International license should be purchased before arrival, or an affidavit/letter, printed in English and stamped and signed by a commissioner of oaths stating the class of vehicle you are permitted to drive. The onus is on the driver to prove that he or she is qualified to drive such a vehicle.

Many Car rental companies are now insisting on an International Drivers License.  We would recommend that you apply for an International Drivers License from your local AA office before depart from home.

You MUST carry your driving license on your person at all times while driving in South Africa.

For returning South Africans the old green ID drivers license document is no longer valid & therefore not acceptable.  Please obtain an International drivers license before arrival.
